Windfarm grants now on offer
APPLICATIONS for Round 2 of the Mt Emerald Community Benefit Fund are open until the end of July after which the grants are awarded.
The fund was established in 2019 and has provided more than $1 million in grants to over 145 local organisations and individuals across the Atherton Tablelands.
Applications are accepted all year round and reviewed twice a year (post 31 January and 31 July) by a committee comprising local volunteers.
Grants are for not-for-profit organisations, community-based clubs and associations, sporting clubs, community shows, cultural events, service clubs and individuals, who operate or live within a 50km radius of the Mt Emerald Wind Farm.
It is strongly recommended that applicants read the eligibility guidelines before applying.
Once the 31 July deadline has been reached, applications are collated, checked and passed to the Advisory Committee for their consideration and recommendations.
